Exciting news for southpaw Gibson fans, as the company has recently unveiled the new 2012 version of the Les Paul Standard. The new Les Paul Standard is available left-handed and in a whopping eleven different eye-catching finishes.
The most interesting of the new features added to the 2012 model has got to be the addition of Dual Burstbucker Pro Split Coil pickups. Players can now switch between meaty humbucker tones and sharper single coil tones, opening up a wide new variety of tonal possibilities!
